Wild Things on the Bronx River
September 5, 2009
The Water Pod has arrived at Concrete Plant Park helping to mark the return of public access to
this incredible site. It quickly has become a normal feature of the area, harkening back the original function of the site that gives the park its name. But while the pod might spark memories for past employees, the monarch butterflies that are migrating through the Bronx River Corridor have quickly decided that the plants aboard the pod are a good choice of nourishment. several pupae have also attached themselves to plants on board.
Did I mention the parrots? Yes, several pairs are nesting at CCP in what I believe is a choke cherry bush. I first heard there call a couple of weeks ago, and then my daugther and I were greeted by them this morning as we left CCP.

This was an amazing site! The Waterpod combines progressive ideas in art, sociology and environmental action. It gave me the feeling of nostalgia for a way of life we used to have-it was wonderful to see the possibility again. I would love to volunteer for a stint on board.
